Failure of Board to Obey Or

of Council's Act.
FIGHT IS EXPECTED TODAY
City Dads Instruct Fire and Water
Committee to Take Charge of

Threatens Combat.
OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 22. (Spe

ter Commissioners refused to obey or
ders the City Council tonight passed
a resolution removing them from of
fice
The Council had Instructed the Board
to lay a main to hydraulic elevator
over the bluff to the residence dis
tricts and the Board refused to do so,
on the ground that it would damage
the entire city water plant. The Coun
cil at the same time Instructed the fire
and water committee to take charge
of the water plant until the new Board
of Commissioners is elected. nv nen
the committee appears at the water
plant in the morning: to take charge
there will prooaoiy e opposition on
the Tart of the employes of the Board.
"Somebody else will be on the scene
when that committee appears. said
President C. H. Caufield, of the Board,
tonight.
Combat la Threatened.
"That water plant is still under the
control of the Water Board and the
committee will not be allowed on the
premises. I think that we have sev
eral men there capable of throwing
out anybody who attempts to interfere
with the workings of the plant."
The city believes that the Water
Board is now ousted and that the plant
is in the hands of the firo and water
committee. The Board of Commission
ers, on the other hand, contend that
the city has no right to remove them
from office except for cause and that
mere disobedience of the orders of the
Council is not enough cause.
Under the provisions of the c'ity
charter, the control of the water plant
is given to a. Board of Water Commis
sioners consisting of three taxpayers
who do not receive anything for their
services. The board conienas tnai me
Legislature had the right to give the
City Council as much or as little power
in the water matters as it chose, and
in the instance of Oregon City it chose
to give it absolute power in other mu
nicipal affairs and none whatever in
the management of the water plant.
Council In Confident.
The Council, however, believes that
it has Jurisdiction and has taken this
step to test its powers over the Board
of Commissioners. The board is ap
pointed by the Council, but can be re
moved only for cause.
The council holds that disobedience
to its orders is sufficient cause for re

secretary, and James Roake.

it is needed. The Mayor declared to

said that the mine was so constructed

HEUSNER FRANCHISE READ
No Opposition Reported to Grant or
Proposed Route.
Without opposition the City Commis
sion yesterday passed to third reading
of a franchise to George F. Heusner
for an interurban electric line from
the Kenton district to the West Side
business district. This measure and
one providing a franchise for a cross
town car line on the East Side as a
part of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company system, were read a
first and second time and sent up for
final passage. Before this last step
public hearings will be held to consider
protests against the lines.
So far no opposition has developed
In the Heusner franchise case either as
to the route or the franchise as a
whole. There has been a little opposi
tion to the route of the cross-town line,
however. The Commission has settled
upon an annual rental for the cross
town line of 4 cents a foot of street
Originally it was the plan to assess
a rental of 4 cents a foot of track.
Where double track is used the rental
at the original valuation would have
been double that of the new arrangement.

John Schneider, the Seattle waiter
who was run down by the hospital
ambulance Sunday night at Third and
Ankeny, was responsible for his own
death, according to a verdict of the
Coroner's Jury last night. Benjamin
Buck, the driver, was completely ex

lice auto were speeding down Third
street in response to emergency calls.
Schneider was apparently confused by
the clanging of bells -and gongs, and
stepped out into the street behind the
police auto and in front of the am

Beautiful and Brilliant Singer Who
Appears at Heilig Tonight Has
Xo Time for Brainless Fun.
Madame Frances Alda has never be
fore been in the West, but she loves
it. The beautiful and brilliant soprano
who is the idol of New York and Euro,
pean audiences will appear at the
Heilig tonight in concert. She comes
heralded as a singer without a peer.
She is young, full of enthusiasm, she
radiates sunshine and Deiieves in
everyone being happy.
"The woman who works is the wo
man who is happy," said the singer.
"The lazy woman is bound to be dis
contented. They can all do something
to make others happy even if they do
not work for a living."
"But what of the women with no
talents?" was suggested. "Why, they
can manicure," replied Madame Alda.
"I have been. for an auto ride all
about these wonderful hills. Their col
oring enchants me. Never in my trav
els have I seen lovelier scenery. The
snow - clad mountains are worth the
trip across the continent. I think 1
shall buy a place here. And I shall
come back, whether the people like me
or not. for I am in love with Port
land." But, if one may judge by the many
splendid things that the critics say and
by the magnetic personality of Mad
ame Alda, there is no doubt about the
West's appreciating her.
In two weeks she has given ten con
certs and will go from here to Salem
and then to San Francisco for six con
certs. Back in New York there is the other
member of her family, Gatti Casazza,
Madam Alda's husband, director of the
Metropolitan Opera-House. His wife
was for six years connected with the
same opera-house. She was born in
New Zealand, has been singing since a
young girl and thinks that song is a
gift and a voice can be placed, but
never made.
Enthusiastio audiences have greeted
Madame Alda in Paris, Brussels, in
South America, in all the largest cities.
She created the part of Roxanne in
"Cyrano de Bergerac," Damrosch's op
era, and this year will create Madeline
in Victor Herbert's new opera of that
name. '
Madame Alda is a sweet, womanly
woman; she hates the freak styles or
today and brands them as brainless
and ridiculous. She believes- in the
gowns that are graceful in lines. On

years action on the question of giving
the Negroes of the South a bishop to
represent them directly in the House
of BTshops. Majority and minority re
ports from the committee on racial
episcopate of the House of Deputies ap
proving and opposing the proposal
came before the convention. Neither
report was adopted. The entire prob
lem was referred by viva voce vote to
a Joint commission of deputies and
bishops, which will report to the next
general convention in 1916.
The decision to defer voting was
reached after several hours of debate,
participated in by delegates from many
states of both North and South. The
Southern delegates were divided as to
the wisdom of creating a separate ter
ritorial missionary district for Negroes,
Kegrocs' Ability Debated.
Those who opposed the plan held it
would mean ultimately the establish
ment of a colored Episcopal church en
tirely apart from the present church.
They declared the Southern Negroes
were not sufficiently developed to as
sume church responsibility for them
selves but still were in need of the in
fluence of white men in their religious
affairs.
Supporters of the plan declared a
merger of white and colored congrega
tlons in the South to be impossible and
that hence it were better to give the
Negroes a church of their own than for
them to have none at all. The lamen
table conditions among many Southern
Negroes were pointed out. It was as
serted that the church had failed to al
leviate these conditions and that it
should experiment with a Negro
bishop.
Pension Plan Approved.
The pension plan proposed by the
House of Deputies for aged clergymen
was approved by the House of Bish
ops. It was said that if the plan works
unsatisfactorily it will be remedied at
the next triennial convention. The
pensions are fixed at $600 minimum
and $2000 maximum, graduated accord
ing to clergymen's salaries during ac
tive pastoral labors.
The committee appointed three years
ago to study pensions will be contin
ued to put the plan into operation. The
corporation will begin the work of
raising $3,500,000 for Immediate and
$49,000,000 for future needs.

TO Margaret Anglin'a enterprise
Portland is indebted for a fine and
artistic production of "The Taming of
the Shrew," in which she closed her
all too short stay last night at the
Heilig. She has been prodigal of talent
and individual endeavor and money in
the presentation of this brilliant
comedy, hoary of age but of unde-
nieu popularity.
The succession of scenes in "The
Taming of the Shrew" is a nice fol
lowing one after the other of beautiful
pictures, toned to naturalness. Not
alone the hangings and the framing of
the pictures, or their backgrounds, but
the grouping of the moving players
on the stage, the costumes they wear
and the relation of costumes to setting
,4 and setting to costume is staged with
nicety. ' The artificial investiture of
the production constituted really the
chief artistic importance of Miss Ang'
lin's revival of this play.
Her novel staging marks a note in
a comedy three centuries a classic. And
the acting of it proved a truth that
these same three centuries have left
Shakespearean plays as robust artisti
cally and as filled to the spilling-over
with laughter as any repartee-choked
modern comedy.
Miss Anglin floods the scenes with
colors, soft subdued tones that wasu
each other's edges. 'There's color in
scenery, color in costumes she herself
wore a red wig and an orange velvet
gown; there's wondrous color in the
lightings.
Distances are not hinted at but are
obvious, wHh hills stretching out to
meet other hills, and all melting into
a far-away soft sky. Doublets and hose
and cloaks of color harmony paraded
against backgrounds of even greater
harmony and drew tne imagination
into 16th century Italy. As to the act
ing, which certainly must be considered
no matter how flushed with loveliness
is the setting of the play, only words
of rjraise can be written.
Miss Anglin's genius runs its full
length as the shrewish Katherlne, one
moment surging wltn every iury ana
the next a calmed and submissive
tamed woman. She flounced and mut
tered and laughed sneeringly at the
impertinences of Petruchio and she
provoked her audience into storms of
applause at her scoldings. When she
humbled herself sweetly sne cio. it
with the deftness of a genius.
Eric Blind was a joyously bluster
ing and likable Petruchio; Fuller Mel
lish, one of the stars of Shakespearean
roles, gave a splendid study of Chris
topher Sly in the induction a curtain
raiser of a bygone day, now nearly ob
selete until this revival. His touches
of comedy were rare delights and
reached auickly.
Baptiste the father, played by Harry
Barfoot: Sidney Greenstreet as me ser
vant to Lucentio; Max Montesole .as

achy or Have Bladder
Trouble,
Meat forms uric acid, which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their ef
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re
moving all the acids, waste and poison,
else you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment; the channels often get irri
tated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
